Speakers claim God's power
Vol. 56 No. 14
Bethel College, St. Paul, MN
Jan. 23, 1981
Lindisfarne: simply relaxing
"God—of the Impossi-ble,"
the theme for the 39th
annual Founder's Week set
for January 26-29 at Bethel
College and Seminary, is
dramatically illustrated in
the lives of two featured
speakers who have wit-nessed
God's power in
Korea.
Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho pas-tors
the largest Protestant
church in the world, the
Full Gospel Central Church
in Seoul, South Korea.
The church's auditorium
seats 10,000 and hosts six
services each Sunday. In
addition to the regular
church services over 10,000
home-style gatherings are
held to minister to 8 to 15
families each in their re-spective
cell-units every
week.
"But this is just the hull,"
Dr. Cho gestures in• the
church's dome-shaped aud-itorium.
"The real church
is out there," he explains,
pointing toward the city.
Esther Ahn Kim endured
the persecution and tor-ment
of Christians in Kor-ea
during World War II
and later wrote If I Perish,
a book about those expe-riences.
She will speak at
the women's luncheon.
Dr. Frosty Westering,
head football coach and
associate professor of
physical education at Pacif-ic
Lutheran University,
Tacoma, Wash., will speak
at the men's luncheon.
Westering came to PLU
in 1972 and inaugurated
an exciting new style of
football known as PHD
football (P-pride, H-hustle
D-desire) that has led the
Lute football team to na-tional
prominence. More
recently, the Lutes' 1979
season brought home the
Northwest Conference
championship, the NAIA
west coast crown, and num-ber
two national small col-lege
NAIA ranking in the
country: Westering also re-ceived
NAIA and North-west
Coach of the Year
honors that same season.
Westering is an avid sup-porter
of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and has
addressed many groups
with his messages on mot-ivation:
PMA (positive men-tal
attitude) and the Win-ning
Edge.
Speaking at the Mon-day
evening banquet and
the Tuesday campus wor-ship
is Dr. Haddon W.
Robinson, who became
president of Denver Theo-logical
Seminary in 1979.
Robinson taught at Dal-las
Theological Seminary
for 19 years, where he was
chairman of the depart-by
Naomi Ludeman
Lindisfarne, says Webs-ter,
means "holy or holy
head." But to Jerry Healy,
professor of English, Lin-disfarne
means "a place
where people can come to
do their thing, with a re-treat
notion. I just liked
the sound of the word."
Healy's Lindisfarne is a
relatively small piece of
land 70 miles north of Be-thel
intended as a retreat
center. It has a couple of
buildings, some made out
by JoAnn Watkins
"It's the type of game
you can't win, but it's lots
of fun." "
"It's a waste of time and
money."
"It takes your mind off
things."
What these people are
describing is the electronic
games located in the Stu-dent
Activities Center.
Three machines stand in
the corner of the room:
PACMAN, Galaxian and
Battlezone. Battlezone re-placed
Carnival on January
16. The rotation of the
games is the responsibil-ity
of the company which
supplies them. When the
popularity of a machine
drops, measured by mone-tary
intake, the machine is
of salvaged pieces of an
old barn, an ice rink and
cross-country ski trails in
the winter and volleyball,
nets in the summer. By
August a chapel will be
completed.
Lindisfarne can accom-modate
15 overnight guests
and up to 30 day retreat-ers.
"Lindisfarne," said
Healy with one of his great
grins, "is a place to sit
around and talk to each
other." It is modest, simple
and almost austere.

likely to be replaced.
Student senate receives
35 per cent of the money
from the machines. "We
average about .$200 a
week," said Warren Bar-ber,
senate treasurer.
The amount of money
'spent by individuals us-ing
the machines varies
from $2 a semester to $2 a
day. The average spent by
the students interviewed
was between $.50 and $.75
a day. About $6 goes into
the machines an hour dur-ing
busy times, around
noon.
These same students, pre-dominantly
sophomores,
averaged over half an hour
a day playing or watching
others play the games.
"I like to compete but it
is fun to watch the. other

serve almost any group of
people: family reunions,
church staff planning ses-sions
and retreats, high
school, college and single

deeper life, to have a vaca-tion.

Tim Huisinga.
"I enjoy watching some-one
who is good," said jun-ior
Dave McIver. Several
commented watching some-one
else helps in develop-ing
a strategy.
Freshman Mike Hwang
said he likes to watch oth-ers
spending their money.
"I realized I was wasting
money," said one sopho-more.
He said time spent
on the games was interfer-ing
with his classes and
studying.
The majority of the peo-ple
playing the electronic
games said that the ma-chines
do not interfere
with their classes or study-ing.
"But, it sometimes inter-feres
with studying," said
Joel Kendall, a freshman.
"I stay longer than I
planned to."
Another freshman, Todd
Erickson, said once he was
20 minutes late for class
when a Galaxian game took
40 minutes. "The problem
is," said senior Jon Fred-rickson,
"they schedule
classes when I should be
down here." He said he
has missed classes due to
the games.
Experience at playing
the games seemed to be
considered the main re-quirement
for skill at the
games. "When I first start-ed

guest editorial
Retarded people need our love too
The following essay originated in an assignment for
my course, The Development of Exceptional Individ-uals.
I consider the content important for three reasons:
1) It reminds us that exceptional individuals are a
part of the human family. Unfortunately, they are often
denied that status.
2) It forces us to consider that spirituality may not
require cognitive mediation. The spiritual dimension
may be the one true "equalizer."
3) It challenges all who claim to be followers of Jesus
Christ to behave like Jesus Christ. That is, the Body of
Christ is mandated by God's Word and example to
minister to all individuals, including the exceptional.
I commend you to Ms. Paul/ Crippin's words.
M. Roe
Each individual created by God has both some form
of knowledge of Him written on his/er heart and the
possibility of God's Spirit residing (or not residing) in
his/er being. It is not simply and not even most impor-tantly
upon the intellect that Christ knocks; the crucial
door is the heart. The spiritual state of a person labeled
"mentally retarded" can no more be assessed ultimately
by a group of Christians than can the spiritual state of a
person labeled normal in intelligence. God keeps the
"books"!
I have seen profoundly retarded children close their
eyes tight, bow their heads low and hold their little
hands together so tightly that their whole bodies shook
when I was praying with them before a meal. Even
though they did not verbalize a prayer, they witnessed
to me a bold reverence for their Creator.
In another setting, I had contact with a moderately
retarded man who consistently became surly and ver-bally
offensive whenever the topic of God or the church
was discussed in his presence; Bill, it seemed, did not
want to "hear" about it.
The Church as a body should recognize that all indi-viduals
(whatever the level of measured intelligence
functioning) need Christ and His love. And it should
witness and demonstrate through loving treatment to
all the love of God, which is experienced and shared in a
spiritual mode.
The spiritual mode of God's love is exemplified in the
way the Holy Spirit intercedes for us "with sighs too
deep for words." John the Baptist's filling with the
Spirit from birth (Luke 1:15) indicates the spiritual
no comment.
by Doug Barkey
dimension in a relationship with God. Truly, we com-municate
with God not only in a cognitive dimension
but also in a spiritual' dimension.
Could it be that some mentally retarded individuals
who appear totally unaware of their surroundings pos-sibly
have as deep of a relationship with God as we who
are not assessed to be mentally retarded?
To communicate God's love to the mentally retarded
population, the Body must recognize the individual
needs of each mentally retarded person and explain the
Good News to him/er. Just as God meets each of us at
our particular situation so should each of us meet a
mentally retarded individual where s/he is.
This, of course, is not some warm, fuzzy sentimental-ity
being discussed but the mi ssionary command of
Christ, who died for all peoples. As Christians, we each
need to broaden our concepts of witnessing, loving and
sharing to include the mentally retarded. We need also
to ask how we can nurture what they have to offer to
the body of Christ and to the world.
Including them in the life of the Church might take
the form of individualized Bible instruction, transpor-tation
for and participation in fellowship activities, or
specialized Sunday school instruction. Above all, we
each must seek to actively love the mentally retarded
as much as we love those who are not mentally retarded
and as much as we love ourselves.
Mentally retarded individuals also need to know the
acceptance and communion of believers. In viewing the
mentally retarded individual, we should intellectually,
emotionally and spiritually appreciate our own humble
state compared to that of the Super-intelligence, whose
unconfinable love reaches out to us.

Dear Sir:
Last year I made the
statement that it was the
last time I would go to
Bethel to watch a basket-ball
game. At the begin-ning
of this year's play, I
thought I would write to
you about the.terrible be-havior
of your students at
the games. They were rude
to the point of vulgarity.
They were not like other
students at other colleges
where they maybe boo or
yell—your students made
slurring remarks. After
the team won, they stood
orr the side and sang a
song about us losing.
It strikes me as peculiar

I understand that your
coach encourages this type
of student demonstration
as he thinks that a loud

I'll have to agree with his
ideas, but your students

I hope you realize that I
can't sign this letter, be-cause
if your students find

I hope you will take this

sportsmanship.
Thank you.

Dear Editor:
"I haven't been to church
since I've been here."
This comment I over-heard
in the hallway last
week caused me to do some
heavy thinking about my
commitments to the Lord
and His work here on
earth. This statement
shows me that we are be-coming
so involved in our
everyday activities here at
Bethel, to the point of little
commitment to the Lord.
Do we attend chapel or
have daily devotions of
some kind to keep in touch
with Him? Do we think of
others before ourselves?
Are we wearing the atti-tude
of Christ or the ways
of the world?

"The Bethel Bookstore

Marvin Fuller, bookstore
manager, "but it is not de-pendent

Whatever profit we make
goes into a general fund as

"Most college bookstores

"In the next few years I look forward to working
closely with that growing number of Eastern stu-dents
who, because they are uncompromisingly
biblical, seek fundamental change in both church
and society. Eastern offers me the freedom to
forge an evangelical theology in which orthodoxy
and biblical lifestyle, community and individuality
evangelism and social justice are' equally impor=
tant.
"I believe that an ideal seminary education is a
learning experience that enables us to hear God
speaking through the Scriptures as we study
modern biblical scholarship, that deepens our
love for the church as we study its history, and
that strengtheris our love and devotion to God as
we study theology. It grows out of Christian
community among students, faculty and staff,
and it profoundly deepens every participant's liv-ing
personal ,relationship with the risen Lord
Jesus.
We live in a world dangerously divided be-tween
rich and poor. The important biblical teach-ing
that God is on the side of the poor and seeks
justice for the oppressed speaks directly to our
contemporary context. If a mere fraction of North
American and European Christians would begin
to apply biblical principles on economic sharing
among the worldwide people of God, the world
would be utterly astounded. There is probably no
Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary
other step that would have such a powerful
evangelistic impact today.
We evangelicals believe that knowledge is not
virtue. Theological learning is inseparable from
obedience to God's will. Therefore, it is important
that some significant portion of seminary educa-tion
occur in a context of oppression. This could
mean living in North Philadelphia for a semester,
spending the January term in the inner.city focus-ing
on the black experience, living in a home
where elderly people reside, or spending time in a
Third World country.
"Just two years ago I had to make an important
personal decision: Should I go to Eastern Baptist
Theological Seminary? I chose to come and teach
Systematic Theology at Eastern because I be-lieved
(what I have subsequently discovered to be
true) that it is a seminary on the move, a semi-nary
open to helping dreams like mine take on
organizational 'flesh' and institutional 'bones,' a
seminary ready to be transformed by the biblical
vision of the coming kingdom of the resurrected
Lord."

Hunger, has had a powerful impact on the
church. He is president of Evangelicals for Social
Action and coordinator of the International Con-sultation

Q. Who is taking a full
load in philosophy at the
U., coaching Bethel J.V.
basketball and women's
tennis and teaching the
interim course "The Japa-nese
Mind"? A. Paul Rea-soner.
Reasoner is uniquely qual-ified
to teach "The Japa-nese
Mind." His parents
are missionaries in Japan.
He was born and raised
there. When he was 18,
Reasoner came to Bethel
and double-majored in phil-osophy
and literature. "I
think both departments
liked me 'cause I was from
the other department. I
think they liked my input
from the other perspec-tive,"
he said. Reasoner
graduated from Bethel in
1975.
Reasoner then returned
to Tokyo with his wife
Sharon for three years.
"The plan was that I would
be a full-time student and
Sharon would support me,
the school there gave no
aid to foreign students. She
taught English as a second
language. I taught part-time
where ever I could,
whatever I could. For
awhile I taught English at
this elite Japanese police
school so they could learn
to interrogate foreign pri-soners.
It was interesting."
In Japan Reasoner was
studying for a master's de-gree
in Japanese thought.
Before he finished he de-cided
to "go into Western
philosophy." For that rea-son
he returned to the
United States.
"Originally I was going
to go to the University of
Chicago, but Bethel offered
Sharon a job here. Jobs are
hard to _come by so we
came here and I'm at the
U," he said.
Reasoner is still very
interested in the field of
Japanese thought. "I'm in-terested
partly because
I've lived in Japan most of
my life. I by no means
know what Japanese
thought is. But it's worth a
try to teach it. There is
always something to learn
from other cultures."
This year is the first
time "The Japanese Mind"
has been offered for inter-im.
Reasoner says his "ini-tial
concern is to spark
interest." He is trying to
do that by reading critical
material, poetry, art and
literature. "My specialty
is religion," says Reasoner.
"It's hard to tell how the
course is going. No one
has any background. Part
of the problem is that Ja-panese
thought assumes a
different way of coming to
knowledge. I'm trying to
convey that different
way," he explained.
Reasoner thinks there is
a need for courses like his:.
He said, "Students need to
be exposed to different
world views. I wonder

High teacher-student ratio at Bethel
by JoAnn Watkins
Bethel College has one
, of the largest teacher-to
-student ratios of the
schools in the Minneapo-lis/
St. Paul area. In seven
years this figure has risen
only about five per cent.
Bethel, which enrolls
2,065 has a teacher-stu-dent
ratio of 1 to 20. St.
Paul Bible College, with
661 students, and the Col-lege
of St. Thomas, with
3,470 students enrolled, al-so
have a 1 -20 ratio. The
University of Minnesota
for the Minneapolis/St.
Paul campus, has a 1 - 18
ratio for its 32,662 stu-dents
enrolled in undergrad-uate
work similar to that
at Bethel. Figures released
by the school report a 1 to
15 ratio overall.
Northwestern College
and Hemline University
have, respectively, 1 to 17
and 1 to 14 teacher-stu-dent
ratios. The teacher-student
ratio is 1 to 13 at
the College of St. Cathe-rine,
Augsburg College and
Macalester College. The 1-
12 ratio for Concordia Col-lege
is the smallest of the
area schools.
Though the number of
faculty and the number of
students has increased, the
teacher-student ratio has
risen little. In 1974-75 the
faculty-student ratio was
1 to 18. The total number
of teaching faculty had ris-en
to 53 per cent from
1974- 75 to 1979 -80. This is
equivalent to a 30 per cent
increase in full-time teach-ing
staff. The number of
students has risen 36 per
cent over those six years.
These ratios are com-puted
by figuring the full-time
equivalency for facul-ty
and students. Dr. Fin-nition

lay, former registrar, ex-plained
how the full-time
equivalent is figured for
classes taken by part-time
students.
The number of classes
taken by part-time stu-dents
is divided by the
average number taken by
a full-time student. This
number is added to the
number of full-time stu-dents.
The result is known
as the student full-time
equivalency. The same pro-cess
is used to compute
the full-time faculty equi-valency.
These numbers
are then compared to get -a
teacher-student ratio.
Bethelites should certain-ly
enjoy this production
for the superb comedy that
it is, no matter what their
theater background. But
beyond the comedy, Shaw
is saying some very mean-ingful
things about the real
and the romantic. All of
the Bulgarians are roman-tics
of the purest order.
They continually commend
such things as "glorious
war" and "higher love."
Bluntschli comes in,
though, as the cultured
Westerner and shows the
absurdity of their ideas;
there is no such thing as a
"glorious war," and "high-er
love" does not fall from
the sky, but is worked out.
He is a realist and Shaw
promotes realism as the
alternative to romantic
idealism.

Last October posters ad-vertising
the sale of re-search
papers and other
research services were
posted in some classrooms
on campus. Although the
ads clearly violate Bethel's
academic dishonesty code,
there was also some doubt
regarding the legality of
the ads.
Dwight Jessup, director
of academic affairs, wrote
to the attorney generals
in Minnesota and in Wash-ington
state, where the com-pany
in question, Pacific
Research, has its head-quarters.
In the state of Washing-ton
there is legislation out-lawing
the sale of services
Pacific Research offers but
not preventing the com-pany
from soliciting in
other states.
Minnesota has no corn-parable
law. The problem
must be dealt with in the
school. The problem with
such legislation is an indi-vidual's
right to publish. In
other words, the company
has the right to publish
research papers in much
the same way authors pub-lish
books. But in Washing-ton
when the material pub-lished
is used in a fraud-ulent
manner, as when stu-dents
use it to represent_
their own works, then it is
illegal. There must be a
knowledge or implied con-tract
on the part of the
company that the material
will be misrepresented.
Bethel's policies and stan-dards
will not change. In-structors
are asked to be alert
for fraudulent papers, and
students are warned that
the ads, although not ille-gal,
clearly violated Be-thel's
academic dishones-ty
standards.

Recitals scheduled
at Seminary in Feb.
Shaw's romantic comedy
a classic at the Guthrie
by Susan Fahrenkamp
February, a month of
valentines, candy and flow-ers,
will also feature mus-ical
recitals at Bethel Col-lege.
A faculty recital fea-turing
Gordon Howell, Da-vid
Murchie and Chris Jar-vis
will be performed Feb-ruary
6 at 8 p.m. John and
Carolyn Nordquist, duo-pianists,
will perform Feb-ruary
10, at 7 p.m. Both
recitals will be held at the
Seminary Chapel at no ad-mission
charge.
The first part of the rec-ital
will feature John Nord-quist
as the solo pianist.
He will perform selections
from Bach, Chopin and Cop-land.
The Nordquists will per-form
a duo-piano recital
during the second half.
The final selection will be
Poulenc's "Sonata for Two
Pianos," which they per-formed
for the Marion Phil-harmonic
Orchestra in In-diana.
Other selections in-clude
compositions by De-bussy
and Ravel.
John Nordquist has per-formed
professionally
since he was 12. He now
has a docorate in piano
performance from Indiana
University, Upland. Crit-ics
have described him as
"a pianist of taste, refine-ment,
and integrity."
The faculty recital is
made up of an unusual"
combination of instru-ments:
piano, violin, and
french horn. Howell will
play the piano, Murchie
the violin and Jarvis the
french horn.
The three will perform
chamber music in duo and
trio combinations. Selec-tions
are chosen from Du-kas
and Mozart in addi-tion
to a piece by Brahms,
a classic composer of trio
music.
The newly formed group
has been practicing since
the beginning of Septem-ber
for their first recital
together. They plan to do
more recitals in the future.

It is not often that the
Guthrie Theater Company
performs a classic roman-tic
comedy, but when they
do it is done superbly;
such is the case with their
present production of
"Arms and the Man" by
George Bernard Shaw.
The play is set in turn-of-
the-century Bulgaria at
the end of a small scale
Bulgarian-Serbian war.
The Guthrie is known for
its spectacular technical
work and the scenic direc-tor
lived up to the Guth-rie's
standard of excel-lence.
The sets are beauti-fully
designed as are the
costumes, and the audience
is easily transported to
that era.

that it was a "good idea

Bethel Republicans strive for participation
From the January 31, 1969

Students disciplined.
Dean of Students Webs-ter
Muck, now professor
of psychology, told the Clar-ion
12 years ago that Be-thel's
Student service of-fice
had not been function-ing
as- a secret police organ-ization,
in response to ru-mors
of nine students who
faced disciplinary action.
"We operated in terms
of evidence or complaint,"
Dean Muck said, referring
to the disciplinary action
taken against the stu-dents.
"If we worked at it,
we undoubtedly could find
others who are guilty of
some rule infractions," he
added, "but I don't see my
job as that kind of job."
Of the nine students in-volved,,
three were dis-missed
while three others
were "pressured out,"
choosing to leave rather
than remain in school on
social probation. Three
other students chose to re-main
in school under var-ying
degrees of social pro-bation.

regarding financial au-tonomy

the proposal. "If by hav-ing

is returned.

less effort for her. It
would save weeks in many
instances for us. We could

Taylor said, "At present
any surplus money we may
have as of May 31 reverts
to the college general fund,
while the precedent is for
any deficit to be charged
against our next year's bud-get.
We could carry out
funds from year to year
with our own account."
Taylor suggested that the
fee be collected by the bus-iness
office when students
registered, along with the
other fees. The student as-sociation
money would
then be deposited in the
student senate account.
In a related article, Bur-ton
Wessman, vice-presi-dent
of business affairs,
said he felt his office
should not be expected to
take an active part in col-lecting
the $25 fee from
the students if the amend-ment
passed.
"It seems more logical to
me," he said, "that if the
senate wants to operate
on an autonomous basis,
collection of their fee
should be autonomous. To
be consistent, they should
take the whole ball of
wax."
Even if an agreement
was worked out, Wess-man
said students couldn't
be forced to pay. Conse-quently,
"we wouldn't guar-antee
the senate the sum
of the total fees," he said.

out on Friday must be

For each day the equip-ment

privileges will be taken
away until it is paid. The
student will receive one

Bethel Republicans are
on the move. College Repub-licans
(CR), a nation wide
organization designed to
encourage college students
to actively participate in
the Republican Party, is
on its way to being estab-lished
at Bethel.
Several interested Beth-el
students have formed
a CR committee, formu-lated
a statement of objec-tives,
and had those objec-tives
approved by the stu-dent
personnel committee
and the student senate.
Now the CR must write up
a constitution for the ap-proval
of those two bodies
and then select a faculty
advisor.
The CR group at Bethel
met twice already. Mari
Broman and Sandy Erick-son
are the chief organiz-ers
and motivators of the
group. The first meeting
intended basically to mea-sure
the interest of the
student body. Satisfied
with the turn-out, Broman
and Erickson scheduled
another meeting to organ-ize
a committee and dis-cuss
future plans and
goals. This committee has
charge of initiating the
steps necessary for the or-ganization
to become school-recognized.
Members of the CR
group have also attended
two Metro College Repub-lican
meetings. The first
meeting included guest
speakers such as John Berg,
candidate for Congress,
and Arnie Carlson. Speak-ers
discussed campaign-ing
and encouraged stu-dents
to volunteer to set
up booths and campaign.
The second meeting was
held after the election. The
speaker, Bill Mores, polit-ical
science professor at
the University of Minne-sota
and the co-chairman
of the state Republican par-ty,
discussed anticipated
changes in national govern-ment
as a result of the
Republican party's success.
An election was held dur-ing
this meeting and Be-thel's
Sandy Erickson was
elected -MCR treasurer.
Members of the CR at
Bethel are excited and op-timistic
about their future
goals (as listed in their
statement of objectives):
1) to provide the Inde-pendent
Republicans with
new ideas;
_ 2) to train and educate
college students to become
active members and lead-ers
of the Independent Re-publican
party;
3) to help the Independ-ent
Republican to elect Re-publican
officeholders;
4) to help Republican
officials govern after their
election.
In addition to adapting
these goals of the Metro
CR, Bethel's CR holds these
unique goals: to educate
and to provide fellowship
for Republican students,
to provide organization for
constructive political ac-tivity,
to provide a way
for Bethel students and
outsiders to get in contact
with Republican students
and lastly, to serve as a
witness for Jesus Christ
through interactions with
members of MCR.
Members of the CR hope
that their establishment as
a college-recognized organ-ization
will encourage the
Democrats at Bethel to get
organized.
f he MCR held their last
meeting Tuesday Dec. 2 at
Hamline University. Gov-ernor
Al Quie was the
guest speaker. In January
the MCR will be holding a
meeting at the University,
and in February at Bethel.

The overall record for
the women's basketball
team stands at 4-4 after
defeating Normandale and
St. Scholastica, and losing
to the University of Min-nesota-
Morris Saturday.
"We had an extremely
good offensive game," com-mented
Coach Marcia La-
Rock after defeating Nor-mandale
85-70. "We had
twelve people who scored
and the team shot 48 per
cent from the field."
Joann Griffin was the
leading scorer for the Roy-als
with 22 points. Grif-fin
was 12 for 12 on
free throws, and the top
rebounder. Behind Griffin
in scoring were Beth Kars-jens
with 12 points and
freshmen Sue Duehn with
11. "Since Christmas, Sue

where they took on the St.
Mary's Redmen and came
out on the losing end of
65-61 score. The game was
close all the way as the
Royal five trailed by six at
the half, 36-30.
With time running out
and the score St. Mary's
63, Bethel 61, the Royals
had the ball and a chance
to tie the score. But Jeff
Westlund missed a shot
and Dwayne Nordstrom
committed a foul on the
rebound. The ensuing free
throws made for the final
four point difference.
The outcome might have
been different had the
Royals not lost Velgersdyk
to fouls in the second half.
With Dion Wolter on crutch-es,
the team does not have
as much depth inside. The
guards picked up some of
the scoring slack with Greg
Edlund leading the team
with 16 points, and Andre
LaBerge adding 13. West-lund
played well coming
off the bench, tossing in

St. Mary's upped their

Bethel dropped to 1-4 in
the conference and 5-8 over-all.

said Coach LaRock.
Three days later, the Roy-als
stomped on St. Scho-lastica,

This was Bethel's first divi-sion

The team had trouble at
the beginning, but picked
up in the second half. "It
took us a long time to get
going, and we were down
at the half, 31-29," reflect-ed
LaRock after the game.
Freshman Keri DeBoer

game is one week from
tomorrow when they host
Gustavus in a 7:30 p.m.
contest at the Robertson
P.E. Center.
The Royal basketball
team took on conference
power Augsburg and play-ed
the once-beaten Aug-gies
fiercely before suf-fering
an 85-69 loss. The
Royals played. some of
their best basketball of the
year in the first half, trail-ing
only 37-34 after the
first twenty minutes.
Foul trouble and some
hot shooting by Augsburg
point guard Ronnie Hend-erson
prevented the Roy-als
from upsetting the
host Auggies. Brad Henke
and sharpshooter Greg
Boone each finished with
16 points for Augsburg.
Henderson chipped in 13
for the winners, several
coming on long jumpers in
the second half.
The Royals were led by
Jason Velgersdyk's 25
points. "Jase" was almost
unstoppable as he canned
11 of 18 shots from the
field. Greg Edlund added
11 points to the Bethel
cause. Augsburg's MIAC
record now stands at 9-0.
We had parents from
12 out of the 16 playefs
there. We also played our
best basketball game of
the season.-Last year Mor-ris
beat us by 32 points."
The leading scorer was
Griffin once again, with
16 points. Duehn was close
behind with 12. Griffin
and DeBoer were the top
rebounders with eight
a pike.
Coach LaRock was
pleased with the team's
performance. She said, "It
was a good effort on our
part. Now we know we
are able to compete with
the top teams."
The J.V. nipped North-western
College Saturday
with a score of 47-46. "The
whole game was close, but
we were in the lead pretty
much of the game," said
LaRock. Jane Anderstrom
was the top scorer for the
J.V. with 10 points.

The wrestling team won
one match and lost another
in.a triangular meet held
at St. Thomas last Satur-day.
The Royal grapplers,
coached by Dave Klost-reich,
easily handled Ham-line
47-10, but were defeat-ed
by a good St. Thomas
squad 33-12.
In the match against Ham-line,
co-captain Greg-Wid-mer
wrestled his first
match this year and whipped
the Pipers' Tom Davis
13-2. At 118, freshman Don
Lint pinned Dan Berry of
Hamline at 5:55. Another
Royal who performed well
against the Pipers was
Wayne Reeves. He was lead-ing
his match at 150 by a
score of 4-2 when his oppo-nent
Mark Plotz was forced
to default.
Against St. Thomas
three Royals were victor-ious.

The Royals started last
week with a frustrating
13-4 loss to St. Cloud, but
finished with a promising
two game series against
the Air Force Academy,
Colorado Springs. Bethel,
after leading in both games,
was defeated by Air Force,
7-6 Friday in overtime and
5-3 Saturday.
Despite an early lead
over St. Cloud, a hat trick
by Dave Johnson and pre-cision
play in the first per-iod,
the Bethel skaters lost
last Tuesday after an 8-4
loss earlier in the season.
Last weekend the Royals
traveled to Colorado
Springs to take on the Air
Force Academy. They were
at a disadvantage due to
altitude shock but made a
fine showing despite the
disadvantage. On Friday
evening a hat trick by Dick
Smith, two goals by John-son,
one by Peter Dahl and
goalie Eric Peterson's 34
saves, the Royals were lead-ing
going into the third
period. Air Force scored to
tie it up and thegame went
into overtime. Eighteen
seconds into the overtime
period Air Force scored to
win 7-6.
On Saturday, the Roy-als
again led moving into
the third period, 3-1, on
two Johnson goals and one
score by Bruce Nord. Air
Force scored four goals in
the final period to win 5-3.
Rob Laden had 34 saves
in what Coach Craig Dahl
called an "excellent per-formance."
In both games the Roy-als
seemed to wear out by
the third period which is
typical of teams visiting
because of the high alti-tude
at the Air Force Aca-demy.
Johnson's 7 goals this
week tied him with Scott
Dahlstrom for a team sea-son
record of 13.

Speakers claim God's power
Vol. 56 No. 14
Bethel College, St. Paul, MN
Jan. 23, 1981
Lindisfarne: simply relaxing
"God—of the Impossi-ble,"
the theme for the 39th
annual Founder's Week set
for January 26-29 at Bethel
College and Seminary, is
dramatically illustrated in
the lives of two featured
speakers who have wit-nessed
God's power in
Korea.
Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho pas-tors
the largest Protestant
church in the world, the
Full Gospel Central Church
in Seoul, South Korea.
The church's auditorium
seats 10,000 and hosts six
services each Sunday. In
addition to the regular
church services over 10,000
home-style gatherings are
held to minister to 8 to 15
families each in their re-spective
cell-units every
week.
"But this is just the hull,"
Dr. Cho gestures in• the
church's dome-shaped aud-itorium.
"The real church
is out there," he explains,
pointing toward the city.
Esther Ahn Kim endured
the persecution and tor-ment
of Christians in Kor-ea
during World War II
and later wrote If I Perish,
a book about those expe-riences.
She will speak at
the women's luncheon.
Dr. Frosty Westering,
head football coach and
associate professor of
physical education at Pacif-ic
Lutheran University,
Tacoma, Wash., will speak
at the men's luncheon.
Westering came to PLU
in 1972 and inaugurated
an exciting new style of
football known as PHD
football (P-pride, H-hustle
D-desire) that has led the
Lute football team to na-tional
prominence. More
recently, the Lutes' 1979
season brought home the
Northwest Conference
championship, the NAIA
west coast crown, and num-ber
two national small col-lege
NAIA ranking in the
country: Westering also re-ceived
NAIA and North-west
Coach of the Year
honors that same season.
Westering is an avid sup-porter
of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and has
addressed many groups
with his messages on mot-ivation:
PMA (positive men-tal
attitude) and the Win-ning
Edge.
Speaking at the Mon-day
evening banquet and
the Tuesday campus wor-ship
is Dr. Haddon W.
Robinson, who became
president of Denver Theo-logical
Seminary in 1979.
Robinson taught at Dal-las
Theological Seminary
for 19 years, where he was
chairman of the depart-by
Naomi Ludeman
Lindisfarne, says Webs-ter,
means "holy or holy
head." But to Jerry Healy,
professor of English, Lin-disfarne
means "a place
where people can come to
do their thing, with a re-treat
notion. I just liked
the sound of the word."
Healy's Lindisfarne is a
relatively small piece of
land 70 miles north of Be-thel
intended as a retreat
center. It has a couple of
buildings, some made out
by JoAnn Watkins
"It's the type of game
you can't win, but it's lots
of fun." "
"It's a waste of time and
money."
"It takes your mind off
things."
What these people are
describing is the electronic
games located in the Stu-dent
Activities Center.
Three machines stand in
the corner of the room:
PACMAN, Galaxian and
Battlezone. Battlezone re-placed
Carnival on January
16. The rotation of the
games is the responsibil-ity
of the company which
supplies them. When the
popularity of a machine
drops, measured by mone-tary
intake, the machine is
of salvaged pieces of an
old barn, an ice rink and
cross-country ski trails in
the winter and volleyball,
nets in the summer. By
August a chapel will be
completed.
Lindisfarne can accom-modate
15 overnight guests
and up to 30 day retreat-ers.
"Lindisfarne," said
Healy with one of his great
grins, "is a place to sit
around and talk to each
other." It is modest, simple
and almost austere.

likely to be replaced.
Student senate receives
35 per cent of the money
from the machines. "We
average about .$200 a
week," said Warren Bar-ber,
senate treasurer.
The amount of money
'spent by individuals us-ing
the machines varies
from $2 a semester to $2 a
day. The average spent by
the students interviewed
was between $.50 and $.75
a day. About $6 goes into
the machines an hour dur-ing
busy times, around
noon.
These same students, pre-dominantly
sophomores,
averaged over half an hour
a day playing or watching
others play the games.
"I like to compete but it
is fun to watch the. other
Operation" is desired to
serve almost any group of
people: family reunions,
church staff planning ses-sions
and retreats, high
school, college and single
group retreats, a place to
escape to, to be in solitude,
to pray, to search for a
deeper life, to have a vaca-tion.

guy's reactions", said fresh-man
Tim Huisinga.
"I enjoy watching some-one
who is good," said jun-ior
Dave McIver. Several
commented watching some-one
else helps in develop-ing
a strategy.
Freshman Mike Hwang
said he likes to watch oth-ers
spending their money.
"I realized I was wasting
money," said one sopho-more.
He said time spent
on the games was interfer-ing
with his classes and
studying.
The majority of the peo-ple
playing the electronic
games said that the ma-chines
do not interfere
with their classes or study-ing.
"But, it sometimes inter-feres
with studying," said
Joel Kendall, a freshman.
"I stay longer than I
planned to."
Another freshman, Todd
Erickson, said once he was
20 minutes late for class
when a Galaxian game took
40 minutes. "The problem
is," said senior Jon Fred-rickson,
"they schedule
classes when I should be
down here." He said he
has missed classes due to
the games.
Experience at playing
the games seemed to be
considered the main re-quirement
for skill at the
games. "When I first start-ed
I was lousy," said sen-ior
Dan Larson. "You have

guest editorial
Retarded people need our love too
The following essay originated in an assignment for
my course, The Development of Exceptional Individ-uals.
I consider the content important for three reasons:
1) It reminds us that exceptional individuals are a
part of the human family. Unfortunately, they are often
denied that status.
2) It forces us to consider that spirituality may not
require cognitive mediation. The spiritual dimension
may be the one true "equalizer."
3) It challenges all who claim to be followers of Jesus
Christ to behave like Jesus Christ. That is, the Body of
Christ is mandated by God's Word and example to
minister to all individuals, including the exceptional.
I commend you to Ms. Paul/ Crippin's words.
M. Roe
Each individual created by God has both some form
of knowledge of Him written on his/er heart and the
possibility of God's Spirit residing (or not residing) in
his/er being. It is not simply and not even most impor-tantly
upon the intellect that Christ knocks; the crucial
door is the heart. The spiritual state of a person labeled
"mentally retarded" can no more be assessed ultimately
by a group of Christians than can the spiritual state of a
person labeled normal in intelligence. God keeps the
"books"!
I have seen profoundly retarded children close their
eyes tight, bow their heads low and hold their little
hands together so tightly that their whole bodies shook
when I was praying with them before a meal. Even
though they did not verbalize a prayer, they witnessed
to me a bold reverence for their Creator.
In another setting, I had contact with a moderately
retarded man who consistently became surly and ver-bally
offensive whenever the topic of God or the church
was discussed in his presence; Bill, it seemed, did not
want to "hear" about it.
The Church as a body should recognize that all indi-viduals
(whatever the level of measured intelligence
functioning) need Christ and His love. And it should
witness and demonstrate through loving treatment to
all the love of God, which is experienced and shared in a
spiritual mode.
The spiritual mode of God's love is exemplified in the
way the Holy Spirit intercedes for us "with sighs too
deep for words." John the Baptist's filling with the
Spirit from birth (Luke 1:15) indicates the spiritual
no comment.
by Doug Barkey
dimension in a relationship with God. Truly, we com-municate
with God not only in a cognitive dimension
but also in a spiritual' dimension.
Could it be that some mentally retarded individuals
who appear totally unaware of their surroundings pos-sibly
have as deep of a relationship with God as we who
are not assessed to be mentally retarded?
To communicate God's love to the mentally retarded
population, the Body must recognize the individual
needs of each mentally retarded person and explain the
Good News to him/er. Just as God meets each of us at
our particular situation so should each of us meet a
mentally retarded individual where s/he is.
This, of course, is not some warm, fuzzy sentimental-ity
being discussed but the mi ssionary command of
Christ, who died for all peoples. As Christians, we each
need to broaden our concepts of witnessing, loving and
sharing to include the mentally retarded. We need also
to ask how we can nurture what they have to offer to
the body of Christ and to the world.
Including them in the life of the Church might take
the form of individualized Bible instruction, transpor-tation
for and participation in fellowship activities, or
specialized Sunday school instruction. Above all, we
each must seek to actively love the mentally retarded
as much as we love those who are not mentally retarded
and as much as we love ourselves.
Mentally retarded individuals also need to know the
acceptance and communion of believers. In viewing the
mentally retarded individual, we should intellectually,
emotionally and spiritually appreciate our own humble
state compared to that of the Super-intelligence, whose
unconfinable love reaches out to us.

Dear Sir:
Last year I made the
statement that it was the
last time I would go to
Bethel to watch a basket-ball
game. At the begin-ning
of this year's play, I
thought I would write to
you about the.terrible be-havior
of your students at
the games. They were rude
to the point of vulgarity.
They were not like other
students at other colleges
where they maybe boo or
yell—your students made
slurring remarks. After
the team won, they stood
orr the side and sang a
song about us losing.
It strikes me as peculiar

I understand that your
coach encourages this type
of student demonstration
as he thinks that a loud

I'll have to agree with his
ideas, but your students

I hope you realize that I
can't sign this letter, be-cause
if your students find

our harrassment.
I hope you will take this

sportsmanship.
Thank you.

Dear Editor:
"I haven't been to church
since I've been here."
This comment I over-heard
in the hallway last
week caused me to do some
heavy thinking about my
commitments to the Lord
and His work here on
earth. This statement
shows me that we are be-coming
so involved in our
everyday activities here at
Bethel, to the point of little
commitment to the Lord.
Do we attend chapel or
have daily devotions of
some kind to keep in touch
with Him? Do we think of
others before ourselves?
Are we wearing the atti-tude
of Christ or the ways
of the world?

"The Bethel Bookstore
is a school function," said
Marvin Fuller, bookstore
manager, "but it is not de-pendent
on student tuition.
Whatever profit we make
goes into a general fund as
with the other auxilaries."
"Most college bookstores
operate at a loss, and tui-tion
covers it," said Fuller.
The bookstore pays all
its salaries, benefits, sup-plies

and utilities fees and
drug subscriptions.

can't I suggest you step
back and take a look at
what you're doing with
your life, and what it is
doing to those around you.
Christ teaches us how
to be more aware of ideas
and those around us and
what he expects of us. Part
of that is fellowship and

from the wholesaler," said
Fuller. "We use Mass Mer-chandizers,
the same com-pany
most local grocery
stores use."
"Snyder and Red Owl
don't supply their own

"If they buy toothpaste,
they buy a carload."
Fuller said, "This cuts
out the wholesaler who
buys things in quantity
and then sells them to pla-ces
like the bookstore and
small groceries."
The bookstore returns
books that students don't

"In the next few years I look forward to working
closely with that growing number of Eastern stu-dents
who, because they are uncompromisingly
biblical, seek fundamental change in both church
and society. Eastern offers me the freedom to
forge an evangelical theology in which orthodoxy
and biblical lifestyle, community and individuality
evangelism and social justice are' equally impor=
tant.
"I believe that an ideal seminary education is a
learning experience that enables us to hear God
speaking through the Scriptures as we study
modern biblical scholarship, that deepens our
love for the church as we study its history, and
that strengtheris our love and devotion to God as
we study theology. It grows out of Christian
community among students, faculty and staff,
and it profoundly deepens every participant's liv-ing
personal ,relationship with the risen Lord
Jesus.
We live in a world dangerously divided be-tween
rich and poor. The important biblical teach-ing
that God is on the side of the poor and seeks
justice for the oppressed speaks directly to our
contemporary context. If a mere fraction of North
American and European Christians would begin
to apply biblical principles on economic sharing
among the worldwide people of God, the world
would be utterly astounded. There is probably no
Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary
other step that would have such a powerful
evangelistic impact today.
We evangelicals believe that knowledge is not
virtue. Theological learning is inseparable from
obedience to God's will. Therefore, it is important
that some significant portion of seminary educa-tion
occur in a context of oppression. This could
mean living in North Philadelphia for a semester,
spending the January term in the inner.city focus-ing
on the black experience, living in a home
where elderly people reside, or spending time in a
Third World country.
"Just two years ago I had to make an important
personal decision: Should I go to Eastern Baptist
Theological Seminary? I chose to come and teach
Systematic Theology at Eastern because I be-lieved
(what I have subsequently discovered to be
true) that it is a seminary on the move, a semi-nary
open to helping dreams like mine take on
organizational 'flesh' and institutional 'bones,' a
seminary ready to be transformed by the biblical
vision of the coming kingdom of the resurrected
Lord."
(Dr. Sider's book, Rich Christians in an Age of
Hunger, has had a powerful impact on the
church. He is president of Evangelicals for Social
Action and coordinator of the International Con-sultation
on Simple Lifestyle.)

Q. Who is taking a full
load in philosophy at the
U., coaching Bethel J.V.
basketball and women's
tennis and teaching the
interim course "The Japa-nese
Mind"? A. Paul Rea-soner.
Reasoner is uniquely qual-ified
to teach "The Japa-nese
Mind." His parents
are missionaries in Japan.
He was born and raised
there. When he was 18,
Reasoner came to Bethel
and double-majored in phil-osophy
and literature. "I
think both departments
liked me 'cause I was from
the other department. I
think they liked my input
from the other perspec-tive,"
he said. Reasoner
graduated from Bethel in
1975.
Reasoner then returned
to Tokyo with his wife
Sharon for three years.
"The plan was that I would
be a full-time student and
Sharon would support me,
the school there gave no
aid to foreign students. She
taught English as a second
language. I taught part-time
where ever I could,
whatever I could. For
awhile I taught English at
this elite Japanese police
school so they could learn
to interrogate foreign pri-soners.
It was interesting."
In Japan Reasoner was
studying for a master's de-gree
in Japanese thought.
Before he finished he de-cided
to "go into Western
philosophy." For that rea-son
he returned to the
United States.
"Originally I was going
to go to the University of
Chicago, but Bethel offered
Sharon a job here. Jobs are
hard to _come by so we
came here and I'm at the
U," he said.
Reasoner is still very
interested in the field of
Japanese thought. "I'm in-terested
partly because
I've lived in Japan most of
my life. I by no means
know what Japanese
thought is. But it's worth a
try to teach it. There is
always something to learn
from other cultures."
This year is the first
time "The Japanese Mind"
has been offered for inter-im.
Reasoner says his "ini-tial
concern is to spark
interest." He is trying to
do that by reading critical
material, poetry, art and
literature. "My specialty
is religion," says Reasoner.
"It's hard to tell how the
course is going. No one
has any background. Part
of the problem is that Ja-panese
thought assumes a
different way of coming to
knowledge. I'm trying to
convey that different
way," he explained.
Reasoner thinks there is
a need for courses like his:.
He said, "Students need to
be exposed to different
world views. I wonder
about Bethel's summer stu-dent
missionaries. Are
they prepared? Christian-ity
is worked out different-ly
in different cultures."
Although Reasoner likes
Minnesota and appreciates
the space ("There is none
in Tokyo—it can get claus-trophobi.
C."), he would pre-fer
to live in Japan. "But
that may not. be God's
will," he said. "I don't want
to sound like I'm just in
favor of Japanese things;
I'm not."

Reasoner views life from many angles
High teacher-student ratio at Bethel
by JoAnn Watkins
Bethel College has one
, of the largest teacher-to
-student ratios of the
schools in the Minneapo-lis/
St. Paul area. In seven
years this figure has risen
only about five per cent.
Bethel, which enrolls
2,065 has a teacher-stu-dent
ratio of 1 to 20. St.
Paul Bible College, with
661 students, and the Col-lege
of St. Thomas, with
3,470 students enrolled, al-so
have a 1 -20 ratio. The
University of Minnesota
for the Minneapolis/St.
Paul campus, has a 1 - 18
ratio for its 32,662 stu-dents
enrolled in undergrad-uate
work similar to that
at Bethel. Figures released
by the school report a 1 to
15 ratio overall.
Northwestern College
and Hemline University
have, respectively, 1 to 17
and 1 to 14 teacher-stu-dent
ratios. The teacher-student
ratio is 1 to 13 at
the College of St. Cathe-rine,
Augsburg College and
Macalester College. The 1-
12 ratio for Concordia Col-lege
is the smallest of the
area schools.
Though the number of
faculty and the number of
students has increased, the
teacher-student ratio has
risen little. In 1974-75 the
faculty-student ratio was
1 to 18. The total number
of teaching faculty had ris-en
to 53 per cent from
1974- 75 to 1979 -80. This is
equivalent to a 30 per cent
increase in full-time teach-ing
staff. The number of
students has risen 36 per
cent over those six years.
These ratios are com-puted
by figuring the full-time
equivalency for facul-ty
and students. Dr. Fin-nition

known as the chocolate

a performance that is less
than superior.
lay, former registrar, ex-plained
how the full-time
equivalent is figured for
classes taken by part-time
students.
The number of classes
taken by part-time stu-dents
is divided by the
average number taken by
a full-time student. This
number is added to the
number of full-time stu-dents.
The result is known
as the student full-time
equivalency. The same pro-cess
is used to compute
the full-time faculty equi-valency.
These numbers
are then compared to get -a
teacher-student ratio.
Bethelites should certain-ly
enjoy this production
for the superb comedy that
it is, no matter what their
theater background. But
beyond the comedy, Shaw
is saying some very mean-ingful
things about the real
and the romantic. All of
the Bulgarians are roman-tics
of the purest order.
They continually commend
such things as "glorious
war" and "higher love."
Bluntschli comes in,
though, as the cultured
Westerner and shows the
absurdity of their ideas;
there is no such thing as a
"glorious war," and "high-er
love" does not fall from
the sky, but is worked out.
He is a realist and Shaw
promotes realism as the
alternative to romantic
idealism.

Last October posters ad-vertising
the sale of re-search
papers and other
research services were
posted in some classrooms
on campus. Although the
ads clearly violate Bethel's
academic dishonesty code,
there was also some doubt
regarding the legality of
the ads.
Dwight Jessup, director
of academic affairs, wrote
to the attorney generals
in Minnesota and in Wash-ington
state, where the com-pany
in question, Pacific
Research, has its head-quarters.
In the state of Washing-ton
there is legislation out-lawing
the sale of services
Pacific Research offers but
not preventing the com-pany
from soliciting in
other states.
Minnesota has no corn-parable
law. The problem
must be dealt with in the
school. The problem with
such legislation is an indi-vidual's
right to publish. In
other words, the company
has the right to publish
research papers in much
the same way authors pub-lish
books. But in Washing-ton
when the material pub-lished
is used in a fraud-ulent
manner, as when stu-dents
use it to represent_
their own works, then it is
illegal. There must be a
knowledge or implied con-tract
on the part of the
company that the material
will be misrepresented.
Bethel's policies and stan-dards
will not change. In-structors
are asked to be alert
for fraudulent papers, and
students are warned that
the ads, although not ille-gal,
clearly violated Be-thel's
academic dishones-ty
standards.

Recitals scheduled
at Seminary in Feb.
Shaw's romantic comedy
a classic at the Guthrie
by Susan Fahrenkamp
February, a month of
valentines, candy and flow-ers,
will also feature mus-ical
recitals at Bethel Col-lege.
A faculty recital fea-turing
Gordon Howell, Da-vid
Murchie and Chris Jar-vis
will be performed Feb-ruary
6 at 8 p.m. John and
Carolyn Nordquist, duo-pianists,
will perform Feb-ruary
10, at 7 p.m. Both
recitals will be held at the
Seminary Chapel at no ad-mission
charge.
The first part of the rec-ital
will feature John Nord-quist
as the solo pianist.
He will perform selections
from Bach, Chopin and Cop-land.
The Nordquists will per-form
a duo-piano recital
during the second half.
The final selection will be
Poulenc's "Sonata for Two
Pianos," which they per-formed
for the Marion Phil-harmonic
Orchestra in In-diana.
Other selections in-clude
compositions by De-bussy
and Ravel.
John Nordquist has per-formed
professionally
since he was 12. He now
has a docorate in piano
performance from Indiana
University, Upland. Crit-ics
have described him as
"a pianist of taste, refine-ment,
and integrity."
The faculty recital is
made up of an unusual"
combination of instru-ments:
piano, violin, and
french horn. Howell will
play the piano, Murchie
the violin and Jarvis the
french horn.
The three will perform
chamber music in duo and
trio combinations. Selec-tions
are chosen from Du-kas
and Mozart in addi-tion
to a piece by Brahms,
a classic composer of trio
music.
The newly formed group
has been practicing since
the beginning of Septem-ber
for their first recital
together. They plan to do
more recitals in the future.

It is not often that the
Guthrie Theater Company
performs a classic roman-tic
comedy, but when they
do it is done superbly;
such is the case with their
present production of
"Arms and the Man" by
George Bernard Shaw.
The play is set in turn-of-

the end of a small scale

The Guthrie is known for
its spectacular technical

Students disciplined.
Dean of Students Webs-ter
Muck, now professor
of psychology, told the Clar-ion
12 years ago that Be-thel's
Student service of-fice
had not been function-ing
as- a secret police organ-ization,
in response to ru-mors
of nine students who
faced disciplinary action.
"We operated in terms
of evidence or complaint,"
Dean Muck said, referring
to the disciplinary action
taken against the stu-dents.
"If we worked at it,
we undoubtedly could find
others who are guilty of
some rule infractions," he
added, "but I don't see my
job as that kind of job."
Of the nine students in-volved,,
three were dis-missed
while three others
were "pressured out,"
choosing to leave rather
than remain in school on
social probation. Three
other students chose to re-main
in school under var-ying
degrees of social pro-bation.

regarding financial au-tonomy

the proposal. "If by hav-ing

is returned.
Equipment may be check-ed

and from 2-4 p.m. on
Sunday. Equipment must

less effort for her. It
would save weeks in many
instances for us. We could

Taylor said, "At present
any surplus money we may
have as of May 31 reverts
to the college general fund,
while the precedent is for
any deficit to be charged
against our next year's bud-get.
We could carry out

Taylor suggested that the
fee be collected by the bus-iness
office when students
registered, along with the
other fees. The student as-sociation
money would
then be deposited in the
student senate account.
In a related article, Bur-ton
Wessman, vice-presi-dent
of business affairs,
said he felt his office
should not be expected to
take an active part in col-lecting
the $25 fee from
the students if the amend-ment
passed.
"It seems more logical to
me," he said, "that if the
senate wants to operate
on an autonomous basis,
collection of their fee
should be autonomous. To
be consistent, they should
take the whole ball of
wax."
Even if an agreement
was worked out, Wess-man
said students couldn't
be forced to pay. Conse-quently,
"we wouldn't guar-antee
the senate the sum
of the total fees," he said.

out on Friday must be

For each day the equip-ment

privileges will be taken
away until it is paid. The
student will receive one

on its way to being estab-lished
at Bethel.
Several interested Beth-el
students have formed
a CR committee, formu-lated
a statement of objec-tives,
and had those objec-tives
approved by the stu-dent
personnel committee
and the student senate.
Now the CR must write up
a constitution for the ap-proval
of those two bodies
and then select a faculty
advisor.
The CR group at Bethel
met twice already. Mari
Broman and Sandy Erick-son
are the chief organiz-ers
and motivators of the
group. The first meeting
intended basically to mea-sure
the interest of the
student body. Satisfied
with the turn-out, Broman
and Erickson scheduled
another meeting to organ-ize
a committee and dis-cuss
future plans and
goals. This committee has
charge of initiating the
steps necessary for the or-ganization
to become school-recognized.
Members of the CR
group have also attended
two Metro College Repub-lican
meetings. The first
meeting included guest
speakers such as John Berg,
candidate for Congress,
and Arnie Carlson. Speak-ers
discussed campaign-ing
and encouraged stu-dents
to volunteer to set
up booths and campaign.
The second meeting was
held after the election. The
speaker, Bill Mores, polit-ical
science professor at
the University of Minne-sota
and the co-chairman
of the state Republican par-ty,
discussed anticipated
changes in national govern-ment
as a result of the
Republican party's success.
An election was held dur-ing
this meeting and Be-thel's
Sandy Erickson was
elected -MCR treasurer.
Members of the CR at
Bethel are excited and op-timistic
about their future
goals (as listed in their
statement of objectives):
1) to provide the Inde-pendent
Republicans with
new ideas;
_ 2) to train and educate
college students to become
active members and lead-ers
of the Independent Re-publican
party;
3) to help the Independ-ent
Republican to elect Re-publican
officeholders;
4) to help Republican
officials govern after their
election.
In addition to adapting
these goals of the Metro
CR, Bethel's CR holds these
unique goals: to educate
and to provide fellowship
for Republican students,
to provide organization for
constructive political ac-tivity,
to provide a way
for Bethel students and
outsiders to get in contact
with Republican students
and lastly, to serve as a
witness for Jesus Christ
through interactions with
members of MCR.
Members of the CR hope
that their establishment as
a college-recognized organ-ization
will encourage the
Democrats at Bethel to get
organized.
f he MCR held their last
meeting Tuesday Dec. 2 at
Hamline University. Gov-ernor
Al Quie was the
guest speaker. In January
the MCR will be holding a
meeting at the University,
and in February at Bethel.

The overall record for
the women's basketball
team stands at 4-4 after
defeating Normandale and
St. Scholastica, and losing
to the University of Min-nesota-
Morris Saturday.
"We had an extremely
good offensive game," com-mented
Coach Marcia La-
Rock after defeating Nor-mandale
85-70. "We had
twelve people who scored
and the team shot 48 per
cent from the field."
Joann Griffin was the
leading scorer for the Roy-als
with 22 points. Grif-fin
was 12 for 12 on
free throws, and the top
rebounder. Behind Griffin
in scoring were Beth Kars-jens
with 12 points and
freshmen Sue Duehn with
11. "Since Christmas, Sue
had been working with
the varsity and in four

Last Saturday, the Roy-als
travelled to Winona
where they took on the St.
Mary's Redmen and came
out on the losing end of
65-61 score. The game was
close all the way as the
Royal five trailed by six at
the half, 36-30.
With time running out
and the score St. Mary's
63, Bethel 61, the Royals
had the ball and a chance
to tie the score. But Jeff
Westlund missed a shot
and Dwayne Nordstrom
committed a foul on the
rebound. The ensuing free
throws made for the final
four point difference.
The outcome might have
been different had the
Royals not lost Velgersdyk
to fouls in the second half.
With Dion Wolter on crutch-es,
the team does not have
as much depth inside. The
guards picked up some of
the scoring slack with Greg
Edlund leading the team
with 16 points, and Andre
LaBerge adding 13. West-lund
played well coming
off the bench, tossing in
12.
St. Mary's upped their
MIAC record to 2-4 while
Bethel dropped to 1-4 in
the conference and 5-8 over-all.
The roundballers' next
games has averaged eleven
points a game. She's a plea-sant
addition to the team,"
said Coach LaRock.
Three days later, the Roy-als
stomped on St. Scho-lastica,
winning 58-48.
This was Bethel's first divi-sion
game of the season.
The team had trouble at
the beginning, but picked
up in the second half. "It
took us a long time to get
going, and we were down
at the half, 31-29," reflect-ed
LaRock after the game.
Freshman Keri DeBoer
was both top scorer and
top rebounder for the Roy-als
with 16 points and 11
rebounds. Duehn scored
14 points and Karsjens add-ed
10.
Saturday, the Royals
lost to UM-Morris, al-though
LaRock described
it as a "special" day, be-cause
it was Parents' Day.
"It was a really nice day.
game is tomorrow night
when they take on a tough
St. Thomas team at St.
Thomas. Their next home
game is one week from
tomorrow when they host
Gustavus in a 7:30 p.m.
contest at the Robertson
P.E. Center.
The Royal basketball
team took on conference
power Augsburg and play-ed
the once-beaten Aug-gies
fiercely before suf-fering
an 85-69 loss. The
Royals played. some of
their best basketball of the
year in the first half, trail-ing
only 37-34 after the
first twenty minutes.
Foul trouble and some
hot shooting by Augsburg
point guard Ronnie Hend-erson
prevented the Roy-als
from upsetting the
host Auggies. Brad Henke
and sharpshooter Greg
Boone each finished with
16 points for Augsburg.
Henderson chipped in 13
for the winners, several
coming on long jumpers in
the second half.
The Royals were led by
Jason Velgersdyk's 25
points. "Jase" was almost
unstoppable as he canned
11 of 18 shots from the
field. Greg Edlund added
11 points to the Bethel
cause. Augsburg's MIAC
record now stands at 9-0.
We had parents from
12 out of the 16 playefs
there. We also played our
best basketball game of
the season.-Last year Mor-ris
beat us by 32 points."
The leading scorer was
Griffin once again, with
16 points. Duehn was close
behind with 12. Griffin
and DeBoer were the top
rebounders with eight
a pike.
Coach LaRock was
pleased with the team's
performance. She said, "It
was a good effort on our
part. Now we know we
are able to compete with
the top teams."
The J.V. nipped North-western
College Saturday
with a score of 47-46. "The
whole game was close, but
we were in the lead pretty
much of the game," said
LaRock. Jane Anderstrom
was the top scorer for the
J.V. with 10 points.

The wrestling team won
one match and lost another
in.a triangular meet held
at St. Thomas last Satur-day.
The Royal grapplers,
coached by Dave Klost-reich,
easily handled Ham-line
47-10, but were defeat-ed
by a good St. Thomas
squad 33-12.
In the match against Ham-line,
co-captain Greg-Wid-mer
wrestled his first
match this year and whipped
the Pipers' Tom Davis
13-2. At 118, freshman Don
Lint pinned Dan Berry of
Hamline at 5:55. Another
Royal who performed well
against the Pipers was
Wayne Reeves. He was lead-ing
his match at 150 by a
score of 4-2 when his oppo-nent
Mark Plotz was forced
to default.
Against St. Thomas
three Royals were victor-ious.

The Royals started last
week with a frustrating
13-4 loss to St. Cloud, but
finished with a promising
two game series against
the Air Force Academy,
Colorado Springs. Bethel,
after leading in both games,
was defeated by Air Force,
7-6 Friday in overtime and
5-3 Saturday.
Despite an early lead
over St. Cloud, a hat trick
by Dave Johnson and pre-cision
play in the first per-iod,
the Bethel skaters lost
last Tuesday after an 8-4
loss earlier in the season.
Last weekend the Royals
traveled to Colorado
Springs to take on the Air
Force Academy. They were
at a disadvantage due to
altitude shock but made a
fine showing despite the
disadvantage. On Friday
evening a hat trick by Dick
Smith, two goals by John-son,
one by Peter Dahl and
goalie Eric Peterson's 34
saves, the Royals were lead-ing
going into the third
period. Air Force scored to
tie it up and thegame went
into overtime. Eighteen
seconds into the overtime
period Air Force scored to
win 7-6.
On Saturday, the Roy-als
again led moving into
the third period, 3-1, on
two Johnson goals and one
score by Bruce Nord. Air
Force scored four goals in
the final period to win 5-3.
Rob Laden had 34 saves
in what Coach Craig Dahl
called an "excellent per-formance."
In both games the Roy-als
seemed to wear out by
the third period which is
typical of teams visiting
because of the high alti-tude
at the Air Force Aca-demy.
Johnson's 7 goals this
week tied him with Scott
Dahlstrom for a team sea-son
record of 13.
